#3Nice job, I actually prefer this colour scheme to the original.

#4Logging in to Dropbox kicked me out of my game, losing my progress. Is it possible to open the confirmation in a separate window or tab?

#5This is a great demonstration of a feature I didn't know existed—using Dropbox to save application-level data. I'm sure I'm just behind the curve, but there are probably a lot of us back here. Nice move, DB.

I'm not particularly informed on this, but what makes this different then just hosting a text file and reading the text file? I wouldn't imagine anything needs to be specialized for this.

Because when you do it this way, you don't have to host the text file. This doesn't seem like a big deal when we're talking about 2048 saves, but a imagine a book reader or image editor.
I actually tried to do something like this for a Comic Book reader, but the Dropbox API didn't allow for file requests to be made through JS: http://rkuykendall.com/articles/web-slinger-comic-reader/

One of the big advantages (not really used in this sample) is conflict resolution. With a text file, if you make changes on two different devices while one (or both) is offline, you'd end up with a conflict and two versions of the text file.
With datastores, the changes are automatically merged according to developer-specified conflict resolution rules.

You should actually be able to use the full Dropbox API from JavaScript. See https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-js and https://www.dropbox.com/developers/datastore/docs/js.

I was wondering why this wasn't working, I have DB blocked at my office. Actually I don't have blocked their datacenter's IPs, I've only have blocked dropbox.com domain, if the JS library was in another domain it would work for me..
